Ruth Ozeki/All Over Creation
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page book review that focuses on a specific aspect of thematic content. Ruth Ozeki's novel All Over Creation offers a complex web of thematic tension, with relationships and plot twists pivoting around the issue of knowledge/ignorance and how this informs the lives of the book's characters. This thematic tension works on multiple levels of meaning in the novel. For example, readers are initially caught between knowledge and ignorance concerning the circumstances of the characters' lives, but then are informed of past events in flashbacks and the text of old letters. Characters also acquire knowledge as the novel progresses, Cass learns of Yummy's whereabouts; Yummy learns what it means to be both a better daughter and mother; and the reader learns the inherent danger in an ecological problem. Other examples abound as it can be argued that this thematic tension informs the structure of the novel's narrative. No additional sources cited.

He takes tradition one step further, however, by setting up a scenario in which white and black alike search for a utopian society, a means by which all can once and for all be equal. This paper analyzes the factors which made that goal an impossibility. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
